The variable winning ball device 45 constructed as described above operates as follows. That is, when a ball hits the starting electric accessory 42 and the starting ball detector 44 is turned on, the variable display device 70 starts to change, and when a certain time elapses, for example, left, right, and middle are special. The symbol is decided, and when the combination of the decided symbols becomes a predetermined big hit combination (double-eye of the same symbol), a specific game state (also called big hit game state) is entered. And in this specific game state, the opening / closing plate 47 of the variable winning ball device 45
Is set to be opened for a predetermined period or until 10 winning balls are generated (opening cycle), and the ball hitting the surface of the game board 3 falling during the opening is received. When the received hitting ball wins the specific area and the specific area detector 48 is turned on, the above-mentioned opening cycle is repeated again, and the continuation right is established every time the winning ball wins the specific area, and the opening cycle is started. It can be repeated up to 16 times. The winning number in the opening / closing cycle is displayed on the winning number display LED 50, and the number of continuations (the number of rounds) is displayed on a normal symbol display device 75 described later.

As shown in FIG. 9, each random number of RANDM5 (0 to 5) is provided corresponding to each ordinary symbol of “0,1,3,5,5,7,9”, and its variation is 0.002. It is executed every second and after the interrupt processing time. Also, RAND
Each random number of M4 (3 to 13) is added by 1 every 0.002 seconds to change, and the value extracted from RANDM4 is "3" as shown in FIG. If it is determined to be a hit, "7" is normally displayed on the symbol display 75 and the starting electric accessory 42 is opened for a predetermined time (enlargement of the winning opening). On the other hand, if a value other than “3” is extracted in RANDM4 and it is determined that it is out, the value extracted in RANDM5 is used as a stop symbol, and this symbol is displayed as an out symbol on the normal symbol display 75. Also, RANDM
Although the value extracted by RANDM5 happens to be "4" even if it is determined to be off in 4, if the winning symbol is "7", a predetermined process is performed and the normal symbol display 75 is removed. The symbol "9" is displayed. The above RAND
The determination of the extracted data from M4 is performed when the big hit probability is normal, and when the probability is high, it is determined that the value extracted from RANDM4 is any one of "3 to 12", and otherwise. The value of “13” of is judged to be out.

Further, the probability variation to the high probability as described above will be described later in the special symbol display portions 72 to 74 of the variable display device 70 (described as a condition device in FIG. 13) as shown in FIG. "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7""Red BAR, Red BAR,
It is performed on condition that it is stopped and displayed with a probability variation symbol (and a jackpot symbol) of either "red BAR" or "mermaid / mermaid / mermaid", and then it is performed until the specific game state is repeated twice. In addition, when the occurrence of the specific game state is set to a high probability while the starting memory is empty, the starting memory stored during the specific game state is also selected to have a high probability, and the big hit continues after the big hit. The possibility is increased and there is a possibility that the specific game state is intensively generated within a short period of time. Therefore, in the probability variation of the present embodiment, the probability of returning to the normal probability upon the occurrence of the specific game state, and then changing to a high probability upon the end of the specific game state, to concentrate within a short period of time. It avoids the occurrence of a specific game state. In addition, such a probability change is not limited to the above-mentioned normal symbol, and is similarly performed for a special symbol (described later). It should be noted that the predetermined condition of the probability variation is not limited to the stop display of the probability variation symbol (and the jackpot symbol) such as "red 7, red 7, red 7". For example, when the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, when the big hit symbol is drawn a predetermined number of times, when a predetermined symbol other than the big hit symbol is stopped and displayed, and when a predetermined random number is provided by providing a probability variation determination random number, When a hitting ball is detected at a predetermined winning opening or a passing opening, when the starting ball detector 44 detects a hitting ball a predetermined number of times, when a reach display is performed a predetermined number of times on the variable display device 70, a specific game state is predetermined If it occurs many times,
When the difference number throwing rate of the pachinko gaming machine 1 reaches a predetermined value,
Alternatively, when the game time on the pachinko gaming machine 1 reaches a predetermined time, at least one of them may be set as a satisfaction condition.

Next, the changing operation of the above-mentioned normal symbol display device 75 will be described with reference to the time charts of FIGS.

Corresponding to 74, random numbers for each of left, middle, and right (0 to 20)
Is provided. RANDM3 is a random number that varies by adding 1 every 0.002 seconds, and is 0 to 44.
It consists of 45 random numbers. The RANDM 6 is to be executed every 0.002 seconds and the remaining time of interrupt processing, and is composed of 20 random numbers in total of 0 to 19.

Then, as shown in FIGS.
The value extracted from RANDM1 is compared with the judgment value "3" in the judgment value storage means (not shown). In this comparison operation, when the value extracted from RANDM1 matches the judgment value "3", it is judged as a big hit and RANDM3 (0 to 44).
The symbols and arrangement to be a big hit are determined with, and the big hit symbols are displayed on the special symbol display portions 72 to 74 of the variable display device 70. In addition, “Red 7
・ Red 7 ・ Red 7 」" Red BAR / Red BAR / Red BAR "or" Mermaid / Mermaid / Mermaid "
This is performed by selecting one of the values 0 to 4 and 30 to 39 of ANDM3. On the other hand, when the value extracted from RANDM1 does not match the determination value “3”, it is determined to be out and the value extracted by RANDM2 (left / middle / right) is used as a stop symbol, and this symbol is variable as an out symbol. It is displayed on each of the special symbol display portions 72 to 74 of the display device 70. If the value extracted by RANDM2 (left, middle, right) coincides with the big hit symbol of RANDM3 (0-44), add 1 to RANDM2 (middle) to make it a deviating symbol. It is something to display. Note that only "3" is set as the determination value in the determination value storage means as described above when the jackpot probability is normal. When setting 1 has a high probability, "3/5/7/79/103/107"
Are set as judgment values, and when the probability of setting 2 and setting 3 is high, “3/5/7 79 / 103.1
07 · 109 ”is set as the determination value.

The setting number of the judgment value will be described below, taking the high probability of setting 2 and setting 3 as an example. That is, "3/5/7 79 / 103-1
As shown in FIG. 21A, the determination value of “07 · 109” is set discontinuously and is set individually as a prime number. On the other hand, the conventional determination value (for example, 7
As shown in FIG. 20 (A), the setting of the individual number is set continuously from the first setting number "0" to "6". Therefore, the generation operation of the specific game state accompanying the combination of the big hit symbols, as shown in FIG. 20B, every predetermined time T2 with reference to the passing of the ball at the starting ball detector 44 which is the combination of the big hit symbols. Therefore, the player will know whether or not the specific game state has occurred based on the periodicity. Therefore, conventionally, the starting ball detector 44 is
By using the periodicity of passing ball at
It was possible to easily activate the starting ball detector 44 to generate the specific game state. On the other hand, in the present embodiment, by setting the determination values discontinuously as described above, passing of the ball at the starting ball detector 44, which is a combination of the big hit symbols, is as shown in FIG. 21 (B). Since there is no periodicity in, it is possible to prevent the fraudulent occurrence of the specific game state.
Even if the judgment values are discontinuously arranged, if the arrangement is regular, the big hit cycle may be able to be confirmed in a more detailed range. It is possible to improve the sex.

Next, the changing operation of the variable display device 70 will be described with reference to FIG.
A description will be given below based on the time charts of FIGS. The variation of each of the left, middle, and right symbol columns is performed based on the pattern shown in the list of FIG.

224 seconds).

First, in the changing operation of the variable display device 70, the change of the symbol row which becomes the deviation will be described based on the time charts of FIGS. 23 and 24. In FIG. 23, when a hitting ball enters the starting electric accessory 42 (described as a starting port in FIG. 23), the passage port switch 44 is turned on, and the starting signal S0 is derived, RAN is generated at the rising of the starting signal S0.
It extracts arbitrary values from DM1 and RANDM3 and stores them. After that, when a minute time (0.132 seconds) has elapsed from the derivation of the start signal S0, the stored value of RANDM1 is read to determine whether there is a deviation, and at the same time, the value of RANDM2 is extracted. In addition, the start signal S0
0.134 to 0.150 seconds after the derivation of
Extract the value of M6. Then, when 0.192 seconds have passed from the derivation of the starting signal S0, the fluctuation of the left symbol row is started in the fluctuation pattern A, and 0.19 is derived from the derivation of the starting signal S0.
When 4 seconds have elapsed, the variation of the middle symbol sequence is started in the variation pattern A (see FIG. 24), and when 0.196 seconds has elapsed from the derivation of the start signal S0, the variation pattern A of the right symbol sequence is displayed. Initiate fluctuations.

Then, 6.3 from the start of fluctuation as described above.
When 00 seconds has passed, for the left symbol row, one symbol before the stop symbol is set and the variation pattern B is 0.160 seconds.
, And then the symbols of the values extracted in RANDM2 (left) are stopped and displayed. Similarly, for the right symbol row, when 6.300 seconds have elapsed from the start of variation, 6 symbols before the stop symbol are set and varied in the variation pattern B for 0.960 seconds, and then RANDM2 (right ) The pattern of the value extracted in) is stopped and displayed. Also, for the middle symbol row, in the case other than reach (not reach), when 6.300 seconds have elapsed from the start of variation, 11 symbols before the stopped symbol are set and the variation pattern B is 1.760 seconds. It is changed, and then the symbol of the value extracted by RANDM2 (middle) is stopped and displayed. As a result, the off symbol determined by RANDM2 is displayed in each of the left, middle, and right symbol columns.
The variation of each of the left, middle, and right symbol strings as described above is the case where the number of memories due to the winning of the starting mouth is 2 or less, and the jackpot probability is normal. When there are three or more memory by starting mouth winning, in each of the left, middle and right symbol fluctuation, the fluctuation time in the fluctuation pattern A is 6.300 seconds to 2.16
It is shortened to 0 seconds. Further, when the probability is high, the fluctuation time in the fluctuation pattern B is shortened. That is, for the right symbol row, the three symbols before the stop symbol are set and the fluctuation pattern B is shortened to 0.480 seconds. For the middle pattern row,
When 2.160 seconds have passed from the start of fluctuation, 5 of the stop symbol
The pattern front is set and changes to 0.800 seconds Pattern B
Is shortened.

Further, when the reach is performed on the middle symbol row, any one of the three kinds of fluctuation control is selected and executed as shown in FIG. In addition, these three types of fluctuation control are Condition 1 (when the stopped middle symbol is out of position at a symbol position different from the right symbol (normal time)), Condition 2 (at which the stopped middle symbol is the same symbol position as the right symbol) In case of deviation (normal time, high probability), condition 5 (condition 1 high probability)
Is selected based on

In the first variation control in the reach, RANDM6 "0 to 17" is extracted as condition 1, RANDM6 "0 to 5" is extracted as condition 2, and RANDM6 "0 to 19" is extracted as condition 5. Is extracted. In this case, for the middle symbol row, 6.300 seconds from the start of fluctuation (when the starting memory is 3 or more, 2.160).
When the second) elapses, it is changed in the change pattern B, and then 3.520 to 6.720 from the time when the change of the right symbol row is stopped.
When the second elapses, the symbol of the value extracted by RANDM2 (medium) is stopped and displayed. The second variation control in the reach is a case where “18” of RANDM6 is extracted as condition 1 and “6 to 10” of RANDM6 is extracted as condition 2. In this case, for the middle symbol row, 6.300 seconds from the start of fluctuation (when the starting memory is 3 or more,
2.160 seconds), it is changed in the change pattern B, and then 6.880 from the time when the right symbol row stops changing.
When 10.080 seconds have elapsed, the symbols having the values extracted by RANDM2 (middle) are stopped and displayed. 3 in reach
The second variation control is the condition 1 "1" of RANDM6.
9 ”is extracted, and the condition 2 is“ 11 ”of RANDM6.
Is extracted. In this case, for the middle symbol row, after 6.300 seconds (when the starting memory is 3 or more, 2.160 seconds) from the start of variation, it is changed in the variation pattern B, and then the right symbol row is changed. 16. From the time of fluctuation stop
When 960 to 20.160 seconds have passed, RANDM2
The symbol of the value extracted in (middle) is stopped and displayed.

In addition, in the fluctuation of the symbol sequence which is out,
The case of performing reach for all the left, middle, and right symbol strings will be described. In the case of reach, one of two types of fluctuation control is selected and executed,
These two types of fluctuation control are selected based on Condition 2 (when the stopped middle symbol is out of the same symbol position as the right symbol (normal time, high probability time)). 1 in reach
The second variation control is the condition 2 "12 of RANDM6".
~ 18 "is extracted. In this case, for all the symbol strings, when 6.300 seconds (2.160 seconds when the starting memory is 3 or more) has elapsed from the start of fluctuation, 0.160 seconds
It is changed in the change pattern B for 2 seconds, and then changed in the change pattern C with "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" set on the horizontal line, and when 4.916 to 9.396 seconds have elapsed, all symbols Stop the line all at once and display the pattern.
The second variation control in reach is R as condition 2.
This is the case where "19" of ANDM6 is extracted. In this case, for all the symbol strings, when 6.300 seconds (when the starting memory is 3 or more, 2.160 seconds) from the start of fluctuation, the fluctuation pattern B is changed for 0.160 seconds, and then it is changed horizontally. The line is set to "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7", and is changed in the change pattern C. 14.324 to 18.8
When 04 seconds have passed, all the symbol rows are stopped all at once and the symbols are dislodged and displayed.

Next, in the varying operation of the variable display device 70, the variation of the symbol row which is a big hit will be described based on the time charts of FIGS. 25 to 27. In FIG. 25,
A ball is placed in the starting electric accessory 42 (described as a starting opening in FIG. 25), the passage opening switch 44 is turned on, and the starting signal S
When 0 is derived, R is generated when the start signal S0 rises.
It extracts arbitrary values from ANDM1 and RANDM3 and stores them. After that, when a minute time (0.132 seconds) has elapsed from the derivation of the start signal S0, the stored value of RANDM1 is read to determine a big hit, and at the same time, the stored value of RANDM3 is read. The value of RANDM6 is extracted 0.134 to 0.150 seconds after the start signal S0 is derived. Then, when 0.192 seconds have elapsed from the derivation of the starting signal S0, the variation of the left symbol column is started in the variation pattern A, and when 0.194 seconds have elapsed from the derivation of the starting signal S0, the variation pattern A is medium. The variation of the symbol row is started (see FIG. 26), and when 0.196 seconds has elapsed from the derivation of the starting signal S0, the variation of the right symbol row is started in the variation pattern A.

Then, 6.3 from the start of fluctuation as described above.
When 00 seconds has passed, for the left symbol row, one symbol before the stop symbol is set and the variation pattern B is 0.160 seconds.
, And then the symbols of the values extracted by RANDM3 are stopped and displayed. Similarly, for the right symbol row, when 6.300 seconds have elapsed from the start of variation, 6 symbols before the stop symbol are set and varied in variation pattern B for 0.960 seconds, and then extracted by RANDM3. The design of the specified value is stopped and displayed. The variation in each of the left and right symbol strings as described above is the case where the number of memories due to the winning of the starting mouth is two or less and the jackpot probability is normal. When the number of memories due to the winning of the starting mouth is 3 or more, the fluctuation time in the fluctuation pattern A is 6.300 in each of the left and right symbol fluctuations.
Seconds to 2.160 seconds. Further, when the probability is high, the fluctuation time in the fluctuation pattern B is shortened. That is,
For the right symbol row, the three symbols before the stop symbol are set and the variation pattern B is shortened to 0.480 seconds. For the middle symbol row, when 2.160 seconds have elapsed from the start of variation, the variable symbol B is shortened to 0.800 seconds by setting 5 symbols before the stop symbol.

Then, when the reach is performed on the middle symbol row, as shown in FIG. 26, any one of the four types of fluctuation control is selected and executed. In addition, these four variations control, condition 3 (when the middle symbol to stop is a big hit at a symbol position different from the right symbol (normal)), condition 4 (the middle symbol to stop is the same symbol position as the right symbol) In the case of a big hit (normal time, high probability time), it is selected based on condition 5 (condition 3 high probability time).

In the first variation control in the reach, "0" of RANDM6 is extracted as condition 3, "0" of RANDM6 is extracted as condition 4, and R is satisfied as condition 5.
This is a case where "0 to 19" of ANDM6 is extracted. In this case, for the middle symbol row, when 6.300 seconds (when the starting memory is 3 or more, 2.160 seconds) from the start of variation, it is changed in the variation pattern B, and then the variation of the right symbol row When 3.520 to 6.720 seconds have elapsed from the time of stop, the symbol of the value extracted by RANDM3 is stopped and displayed. In the second variation control in reach, “1” of RANDM6 is extracted as condition 3 and RA is satisfied as condition 4.
This is the case where “1” of NDM6 is extracted. in this case,
For the middle symbol row, after 6.300 seconds (when the starting memory is 3 or more, 2.160 seconds) from the start of variation, it is changed in the variation pattern B, and then from the time when the variation of the right symbol row is stopped. When 6.880 to 10.080 seconds have elapsed, R
The symbols of the values extracted by ANDM3 are stopped and displayed. The third variation control in reach is RAN as condition 3.
"2-14" of DM6 is extracted, and RAN is set as condition 4.
This is a case where “2” of DM6 is extracted. In this case, for the middle symbol row, when 6.300 seconds (when the starting memory is 3 or more, 2.160 seconds) from the start of variation, it is changed in the variation pattern B, and then the variation of the right symbol row When 16.960 to 20.160 seconds have passed from the time of stop, R
The symbols of the values extracted by ANDM3 are stopped and displayed. The fourth variation control in reach is RAN as condition 3.
This is a case where “15 to 19” of DM6 is extracted. In this case, for the middle symbol row, when 6.300 seconds (when the starting memory is 3 or more, 2.160 seconds) from the start of variation, it is changed in the variation pattern B, and then the variation of the right symbol row When 17.100 to 20.300 seconds have passed from the time of the stop, the fluctuation is stopped for 0.020 seconds, and then 0.14
The pattern of the value extracted by the RANDM3 is stopped and displayed by making the backward fluctuation for 0 seconds.

In addition, in the fluctuation of the symbol row which becomes the big hit, the case where reach is done to all the symbol rows of left, middle and right is explained. In the case of reach, FIG.
As shown in, any one of the three kinds of fluctuation control is selected and executed, and these three kinds of fluctuation control are condition 4 (a middle symbol to be stopped is a big hit at the same symbol position as the right symbol). It is selected based on time (normal time, high probability time). The first variation control in reach is condition 4
Is the case where "3" of RANDM6 is extracted as.
In this case, 6.300 from the start of fluctuation for all symbol strings
When seconds (2.160 seconds when the starting memory is 3 or more) have elapsed, it is changed in the change pattern B for 0.160 seconds,
After that, the horizontal line is set to "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" and is changed in the change pattern C. 4.916 to 9.3
When 96 seconds have passed, all the symbol rows are stopped at once and the big hit symbols are displayed. The second variation control in the reach is a case where “4 to 14” of RANDM6 is extracted as the condition 4. In this case, for all symbol strings, 6.300 seconds from the start of fluctuation (when the starting memory is 3 or more, 2.
160 seconds), it is changed in the change pattern B for 0.160 seconds, and then changed in the change pattern C with "red 7, red 7, red 7" set on the horizontal line,
When 14.324 to 18.804 seconds have passed, all the symbol rows are stopped at once and the big hit symbol is displayed. The third variation control in reach is RANDM6 as condition 4.
This is the case where “15 to 19” of is extracted. in this case,
For all symbol strings, when 6.300 seconds (when starting memory is 3 or more, 2.160 seconds) from the start of fluctuation,
It is fluctuated in the fluctuation pattern B for 0.160 seconds, and then fluctuated in the fluctuation pattern C with "red 7, red 7, red 7" set on the horizontal line to 15.520 to 19.000.
When the second elapses, the fluctuation is stopped for 0.028 seconds, and thereafter, the fluctuation is reversed for 0.196 seconds, and then all the symbol rows are stopped at once and the big hit symbol is displayed.

Incidentally, in the present embodiment, the changing operation of the special symbol and the normal symbol is defined under a predetermined condition. However, such a changing operation has a changing time of 0.5 seconds or more or one cycle of the symbol arrangement display. It is desirable to set the above. Further, in the variable display device 70 of the present embodiment, each display range in each of the special symbol display portions 72 to 74 as described above is set to the value shown in FIG. 28 (A). That is, the display length of the "dollar" (outside pattern) is set to L2, the display length of the other symbols such as "Red 7" and "Treasure chest" is set to L1, and the wrap length of each symbol is set. Is set to L3, and each of these lengths L1 and L2
-L3 has a relationship of L1≤3L3 and L3≤L1 / 3 between each other. Therefore, the variable display device 70 enables wide area display of the special symbols, and each special symbol display portion 7
The comparative visibility of the pattern aligned on the diagonal line of 2 to 74 and the pattern aligned on the horizontal line is improved. By the way, when the reach as described above is executed, the variable display device 70
It also enables a plurality (double) reach mode as shown in FIG. 28 (B). In addition, as a mode of multiple reach, triple reach of three lines shown in FIG. 29 (A),
Double reach of cross line shown in FIG. 29 (B), FIG.
It may be a double reach in which two symbols are drawn in the same symbol area shown in 9 (C), or an all symbol reach in which a big hit is obtained by aligning all the symbols shown in FIG. 29 (D).

Further, in the case of executing the reach as described above, that is, in the variation of the state in which "red 7, red 7, red 7" are set on the horizontal lines of the special symbol display portions 72 to 74, FIG. As shown in, "Red 7, Red 7, Red 7" is set on the horizontal line C, and at the same time, "Mermaid, Mermaid, Mermaid"
Is on the horizontal line A, and again "blue BAR, blue BAR, blue BA
R "is set on the horizontal line B to perform the change. The reach variation is not limited to the set state of the special symbols shown in FIG. For example, as shown in FIG. 31, the horizontal line D indicates “NEPTUUN”.
E ・ NEPTUNE ・ NEPTUNE "is the horizontal line E
"Blue 7, Blue 7, Blue 7" on the horizontal line F and "Submarine, Submarine, Submarine" on the horizontal line F, or as shown in FIG. 32, "Mermaid, Mermaid, Mermaid" is displayed on the diagonal line G. ",""Blue BAR, blue BAR, blue BAR" on diagonal line H, and "red 7, red 7, red 7" on diagonal line I
May be fluctuations of the respective set states. Furthermore, the left, middle, and right special symbol rows drawn on the outer circumference of the rotating drums 72a to 74a are set to the same type and the same permutation, and the same symbol is set on all the horizontal lines or all the diagonal lines. It may be a change in the set state.

As described above, the variable display device 7 of the present embodiment.
0 is a low-speed fluctuation in a state where the special symbols are aligned as a big hit symbol during the fluctuation of all the special symbols in the special symbol display portions 72 to 74, and then the variation control for controlling the stop of all the special symbols at the same time, and the special symbol. Arrangement of special symbols so that there is a possibility that the big hit symbols may be aligned in a plurality of ways at the stage before all the special symbols of the display units 72 to 74 are stopped, and the variation control for sequentially controlling the stop of the special symbols. , Is designed to do. Therefore, the variation operation until the big hit symbols are aligned on either the horizontal three or the diagonal two hit lines is diversified, and as a result, the interest for the game is improved.

Further, in this embodiment, when there is a probability change to a high probability, in addition to shortening the variation time of the special symbol, the variation time of the ordinary symbol is shortened as described above, and the starting electric accessory 4
The opening time of 2 is extended. Therefore, at the time of high probability variation, the operation involved in the variation of the variable display device 70 is generally shortened to eliminate the irritating feeling to the game, and the variation allowance of the variable display device 70 is expanded to improve the enjoyment of the game. It is supposed to do. In addition, as the expansion operation of the variable display device 70, the starting electric accessory 4
It is not limited to the extension of the opening time of 2. For example,
A starting electric accessory 42 that normally closes with one winning ball
May be opened up to three prizes at a high probability.

Next, the operation of the variable display device 70 after the end of variation will be described with reference to FIGS. 33 to 35. First, as a result of the change, in the case where a combination of big hit symbols is obtained, as shown in FIG. 33, the special symbol display portion 73 (FIG. 33).
1.500 after the fluctuation of the medium pattern is stopped)
When the second elapses, check that it is a jackpot pattern,
After 6.000 seconds have passed, the variable winning ball device 45
Open / close plate 47 of No. 2 (indicated in FIG. 33 as the winning hole) 2
9. Open for 500 seconds, and 2. from the end of opening / closing plate 47.
After 000 seconds have elapsed, the opening operation of the opening / closing plate 47 is repeated again. Then, when there is a starting memory of the special symbol at the time of ending the opening operation of the opening / closing plate 47 a predetermined number of times (for example, 16 times), as shown in FIG. . Special symbol display 72 after 192 seconds
(In FIG. 34, it is described as a left symbol) fluctuation is started.
In this case, 10.32 seconds after the opening / closing plate 47 is closed, the stored value of RANDM1 is read to determine whether or not the contact has occurred, and at the same time, the value of RANDM2 is extracted. On the other hand, as a result of the change, if there is a combination of deviation symbols and there is a starting memory for the special symbol, as shown in FIG. 35, the variation of the special symbol display portion 73 (in FIG. 35, described as the medium symbol) is stopped. After 1.192 seconds have passed, the variation of the special symbol display portion 72 (in FIG. 35, described as a left symbol) is started. In this case, 1.132 seconds after the fluctuation of the middle symbol is stopped, the stored value of RANDM1 is read to determine whether or not it is hit, and at the same time, RAN
Extract the value of DM2.
